gimp: Enable debugging signal handlers.
$ gimp --debug-handlers
try on your machine

The command "gimp --debug-handlers" is used to start the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) with debugging enabled for its event handlers.

GIMP is an open-source raster graphics editor that provides a wide range of image editing tools and features. The "--debug-handlers" option adds debugging capabilities specifically for event handlers within GIMP.

Event handlers are responsible for handling different events triggered by user actions or other system events (such as mouse clicks, keyboard inputs, or window resizing). They help to facilitate the interaction between the user and the program.

Enabling debugging for event handlers through the "--debug-handlers" command provides additional information or logs related to events and their handling process. This can be useful for identifying and diagnosing any issues or errors occurring during event handling.

Overall, this command allows developers or users to gain insights into how GIMP processes events and helps in troubleshooting problems related to event handling.
